Ads getting through still (windows) #37

I've attached a screen-shot of my windows screen. It is still showing ad as shown in the attached image.
My assumption is that, it is due to adeventtracker.spotify.com (not sure). I've already blacklisted the host in the hosts file. But, It is not solving the issue.
How can we solve fix this? Anyone have any idea on this?

@purple-monke I don't know much about this, but I have added adeventtracker.spotify.com directly. Even I don't know, how these people catch this much amount of URLs that are used by Spotify for ads.
